PhD of English Philology, and a Permanent Lecturer in Cultural Studies and Gender Studies at the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Cadiz. My line of research addresses gender representation in literature, film, and popular culture with a particular interest in the crossing of gender traits and in the deconstruction of gender binarism. From this broad field of analysis, I have specialized my research work in two more specific areas of interest that provide two different analytical angles and methodologies: Masculinity Studies and Transfeminism.
